Set Clocks
Back Tonight
The timeless saying, “spring forward, fall back” has arrived for your
clocks. Time has come to change from Daylight Saving Time back to
Eastern Standard Time. We “fall back” one hour at 2 a.m. Sunday, Oct
31, Halloween. So turn your clocks back one hour before going to bed
Saturday night Some believe that “falling back” means you regain an
hour of sleep, though the days ate shorter. Keep in mind: animal feed
ing and milking schedules need to be adjusted accordingly.

YORK SPRINGS (Adams
Co.) The virus attacking the
peach orchards in Adams
County has the potential to dev
